Pujols sued Clark Oct. 4 over comments Clark made Aug. 2 on a radio show he co-hosted on St. Louis' WGNU 920 AM. Clark said he “knew for a fact" that Pujols took performance-enhancing drugs because Pujols' former trainer, Chris Mihlfeld, told him 10 years ago that he "shot (Pujols) up."

The lawsuit alleges that Clark made "malicious, reckless and outrageous falsehoods" that have damaged Pujols' reputation, humiliated him and caused him mental anguish and anxiety.

Now Clark is proposing the two settle the matter through the use of dueling polygraph tests. Under his proposal, Pujols would be asked if "he is being deceptive when he asserts that he has never used steroids or performance enhancing drugs while in the minor and major leagues."

Clark would be asked if he is being deceptive in describing what Mihlfeld allegedly told him.

Mihfeld has denied the allegations, and the company that hired Clark and co-host Kevin Slaten announced the two had been told not to return to work. Clark and Slaten technically couldn't be fired because they were independent contractors, but they no longer have a show on WGNU.

Pujols was a superstar for the Cardinals from 2001 to 2011. He signed a free agent contract with the Los Angeles Angels before the 2012 season, but has has battled injuries and has struggled at the plate for his new team.
